The Kampfpistole is very powerful, capable of killing Heavy Soldiers with a direct hit and has a large blast radius, penetrating cover better than a grenade. The projectile that is fired acts like a rocket and would always fly straight ahead until it hits a hard surface where it detonates and causes massive damage, or an enemy where it will stick and explode after a brief delay.

In many aspects it is the more accurate and controllable version of the Hand Grenade, but the scarcity of its ammo pickups tend to limit its use.

The weapon was likely based on the real-world launcher of the same name, the Kampfpistole Z. Although the Kampfpistole Z can fire specialized explosive munitions, they are still technically modified grenades and not rockets like portrayed in the game.

The Kampfpistole's supposed "rockets" do not emit exhaust when fired.

The Kampfpistole from The Old Blood may be a precursor to the rocket launcher mounted on the Assault Rifle 1960 in The New Order.
